It was just about a year ago I left my eastern home
To try to make my way to wealth and fame,
But little did I think I'd turn up in Mexico
In the little 'dobe' casa on the plain.

Oh, the roof is ocotillo, there are coyotes far and near,
And the greasers roam about the place all day;
And at night when I lie down to sleep tarantulers around me creep,
In my little 'dobe' casa on the plain.

There are cockroaches on the ceiling and curocos on the walls,
And the bill of fare is always just the same-
'Tis frijoles and tortillas, all dressed up in chili sauce,
In the little 'dobe' casa on the plain.

Oh, I wish that some kind-hearted girl would consent to be my wife,
I would try to be content then to remain;
Or maybe I could find some better place to settle down
Than the little 'dobe' casa on the plain.
This song is from the album "Cowboy And Western Songs".
